Descripción
Wood of the species Platanus acerifolia. It is a hard, tough, light reddish-brown wood with a fine texture that polishes well, but can be difficult to work. It is commonly used for interiors, construction, tool handles, furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and veneers. Sold commercially as "lacewood" because the quarter-sawed wood has a grain pattern with characteristic flake-shaped markings, with reddish-brown rays contrasting with the lighter colored background resembling lace.
